Hello Kenneth, Project Settings --> People is only available on Jira cloud, that's the reason I wanted to know if you were on cloud or server. However, yes to create new uers & groups you need to be Jira Admin.

If I am on a server, and I noted this when read this instruction previously, I am in need of additional permissions as pointed out in the opening paragraph of the instruction.

"It's important to note that you can only add existing groups and users, you need to be a Jira Core administrator to create the groups or users."

I can see existing users when I attempt to populate the user name for a role.  However none of the existing users are people that I want in the project.

I'll go look for how to get Core Administrator rights or find someone who has those permissions.
